ENGLISH WRITER'S. An attempt toward History Oh
English Literature Ky HENRY, M0RLhf' Vol l.
Crown $40. PIP. xv, 367 Cassell Co.
The present book is not @ reissue of Professor
Morley's work published twenty years ago with
I. similar title but il is the first instalment of
wholly new history, destined. If the author carry
ont his plan, to reach the imposing magnitude or
twenty Volumes and TO require the labor or ten
years The space will not be too great nor tho time
too long for the development of the scheme illus
trated in these preliminary pages. Professor Nor
ley treats Of English literature not only in Its
standard productions, but in the complex Influences
which have formed and directed 1t. and his survey
must therefore take in whatever has affected the
national life as well as tho literary movements In
other countries from which England has derived
so much of its intellectual nurture. The broad
scope of tho work Is well shown In the in
teresting introduction. which traces the
Sources of our literature in the earliest times and
the rich tributary streams which have poured INTO
it from all sides down TO the present day. The in
fluence of Italy especially is well and fully exhib-
tied and the rise, at time not very far from our
own, of popular home influence Is the subject of
some acute appropriations. Book l. is chiefly de-
voted to the history of the formation of the Eng
lish people. and, as a part of that theme,
the formation of the English language,
and what Professor Morley has to say of the
most ancient writings of Gael Cymry and Teuton
trenches upon domain of philosophy where con-
troversy Is still lively and science is imperfect 1t
is only with the poem of Beowulf that he reaches
safe ground of literature proper; and with an ex-
haustive examination of this poem, accompanied
BY spirited translations in verse. he comes to the
climax and almost TO the end Of his first volume.'
The CAREFUL manner in which he summarizes the
latest conclusions of various critics upon BeOwuf
Indicates that his purpose is to mako his history
substantial work of reference-a plan which, prop
ery carried out would give it a wholly exceptional
value,

The most useful of the three publications we

the only one of the three with when inc 'oi'Uu1
student Of Dante will feel the need OF concernins
himself DR. Scartazzini who has written both IN

lieye in the latter language than In his OWLS
Dante scholar of high repute. He treats his SUD-
feet with scientific precision OF research Delns
more intent upon the discovery OF facts thah INC
display of individual theories OF interpreta-
ton; and his carefulnessin details is supplemented
by the pa;nsakng translator, who does not scrupie
in hrs foot notes to combat and correct the oiiko
With one of Mr.. Davidson's theories, which app"oS
grossly sensual meaning to the SID OF luxury iaiu
TO Dante's charge and apparently cOniesseo Ia 'no
Purgatorio we are unable to agree; 1t seems 10 US
that the passages cited against the poet do
not necessarily naturally bear the con-
struction forced upon theu,. But the
handbook upon the whole contains little
matter for controversy. Sometimes prolix and
pedantc it is nevertheless good practical gulde'
and in its EXPLANATION of the scheme and slgnih-
canoe of 1.-THE Divine Comedy" and OF Dante's re-
lation to religious philosophical and poiiticai
thought it is eminently clear and sensible.
The lady who offers small volume on " Dante"
has no higher ambition than to tell the
story of the poets life simply, with
so much as may be necessary OF
the history of his time and to describe
without expouuding, his principal works. she Is
TO be praised for the neatDess with which she has
accomplished this useful task. Her story Is read
able and sufficiently complete; and we can look
else here for calculations of Dantes deep mean
ings.
Something may be found in the pages OF Miss
Phinmore, whose collection of magazine articles
opens with an essay the Paradise. This pro-
fosses to be no more than SKETCH partly critical,
partly expostofy, and it is enough to say that 1t Is
pleasantly written.

MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL---MONDAY, JUNE g. 1887

Hamburg aud other sections Of the
South, and the massacrss have been
winked at by the white Republicans
because they could and have gained
capital at the expense Of the negroes
lives. a- y
sit is possible that white Republi-
cans Rave caused these outrsges TO oc-
cur. A serious change is needed in
this country. II the Democratic rank
and fiie will accord the negro the
rights and treatment Of American
citi1sns,the negro will coalesce; other
wise the negro will vote for men and
measures instead OF party principles.
When Stevens, Andrew, Sumner, Gar
rison and Phillips died the true Re-
publican party was buried in the
grave with those heroes who founded
and nurtured it. The present p arty is
one composed Of money bags and
trickery, suffering from absence Of
brain and lack OF Conscience. II
colored national convention is held
before the Presidential election the
Republican party will be surprised
and afrighted at some things they
will see aud hear"

ter of how and by whom President
Cleveland was invited to be present,
which was caused something of COM
motion throughout the country lately,
was fully discussed, and q resolution
was adopted stating that the Citizens
COMMITTEES is not in any way the rep
resentatiye of the Grand Army: that
it claims no authority from the Grand
Army and that none Of its acts are
binding on that organization. During.
the discussion it wss clearly shown
that the idea of inviting the President
to visit 1T. Louis during the encamp-
ment originated with and was carried
out by the Ciuzens' Committee and
by the citizens OF st. Louis, and that
tie Grand Army had nothing what
ever to do with it. 1t is hoped that
this matter will now find rest.

no telling what it would be. The coal
is here in untold quantities, with veins
from four to seven feet thick. Iron
ore, both brown and red hematite,
abound in this, in Putnam, in Picket
and DeKalb counties. Iron can be
made here as cheap as in and around
Birmingham, Ala. POttets' clay, lith-
ograph stone and marble are also here,
and 60 is lead. The water power
of these counties cannot be surpassed.

practically of no value for want Of
railroad facilities. An effort is now
making 10 get railroad from Cincin-

cross the Midland in Cannon county,
and thus get an outlet to memphis.
II the Midland should not be built
thisn Cincinnati road would build an
arm To Nashville which would be ex-
tended on a direct line to Memphis.
This is a matter of great importance,
